A light holding system having a light holder with wings that define an outer contoured surface. A channel extends inwardly of the outer contoured surface and has a bottom wall and lateral walls. The bottom wall has a ridge wall having a retention barb extending from a bottom surface. The wings are resiliently bendable between an uninstalled and an installed position. In the uninstalled position the tips of the wings are at a first distance from the retention barb and in the installed position the tips of the wings are at a second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance. An end cap having an outer shell and a coped portion within the end may receive the light holder in the coped portion.

A decorative sheet includes, from the front side to the back side, a skin layer, an intermediate layer, a design layer, and a soft layer. Recesses open on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the design layer. The decorative sheet further includes display regions formed by the recesses. The display regions display a predetermined design on a front surface of the skin layer by light irradiated from the back side. Light is irradiated from the back side to the display regions via the soft layer. Light blocking partition parts of the soft layer are each disposed between two adjacent display regions as seen from the front side, and prevent light to be irradiated to one display region from leaking into the other display region via the soft layer.

A light module for an elongated interior aircraft light comprises a plurality of light sources, which are configured for emitting light of different colors and which are arranged next to each other, forming an array of light sources extending between a first end and a second end along a longitudinal direction (LD). The plurality of light sources include a first light source, which is arranged at the first end, and a second light source, which is arranged at the second end. The first and second light sources are those from the plurality of light sources that result in a difference of the illuminating properties between the first and second light sources being the smallest difference that is possible for all potential pairs of light sources formed from the plurality of light sources.

A lens, a vehicle lamp, and a corresponding vehicle, the lens including a lens portion with a touch area and an antenna portion including a flange portion, the antenna portion being electrically conductive and at least partially opposite to the touch area. When the touch area of the lens provided with the antenna portion is touched, the capacitance of a capacitor formed by the antenna portion will change.

A light holding system having a light holder with wings that define an outer contoured surface. A channel extends inwardly of the outer contoured surface and has a bottom wall and lateral walls. The bottom wall has a ridge wall having a retention barb extending from a bottom surface. The wings are resiliently bendable between an uninstalled and an installed position. In the uninstalled position the tips of the wings are at a first distance from the retention barb and in the installed position the tips of the wings are at a second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance. An end cap having an outer shell and a coped portion within the end may receive the light holder in the coped portion.

A vehicle including a light bar, a vehicle sensor and a processor is disclosed. The light bar may be disposed at a vehicle structural component in a vehicle interior portion. The light bar may be configured to illuminate a driver's upper body. The vehicle sensor may detect a driver's gesture in the vehicle interior portion. The processor may obtain inputs associated with the driver's gesture from the vehicle sensor, and determine that the driver's gesture is a predefined gesture based on the inputs. The processor may switch an operational state of the light bar from a deactivated state to an activated state responsive to determining that the driver's gesture is equivalent to the predefined gesture, to enable a user outside the vehicle to view the driver's gestures.

The invention relates to a shaped part comprising a transparent or translucent decorative layer having a front face and a rear face opposite the front face, wherein an adhesive structure is arranged on the rear face of the decorative layer, wherein the adhesive structure comprises at least one first adhesive layer, the shaped part comprising a support and a light source for transilluminating at least the adhesive structure and the decorative layer. The invention is characterized in that the first adhesive layer is formed from an electrically conductive adhesive.

Systems and methods are disclosed for lighting a vehicle. A system includes a plurality of lights disposed on a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle configured to turn on and off, change color, and/or change intensity. The system further includes a controller configured to determine a lighting scheme for the plurality of lights, the lighting scheme including a setting for the plurality of lights, the setting including one or more of turning the plurality of lights on or off, setting a color of the plurality of lights, and setting an intensity of the plurality of lights, determine a location in or associated with the VTOL vehicle, wherein the lighting scheme is configured to guide a person to the location, and transmit a signal to the one or more lights to execute the lighting scheme to guide the person to the determined location.

A light unit executes up to three different functions (cabin area illumination, individual/dedicated/decorative illumination and emergency illumination) and an emergency illuminated sign unit, each one with an internal controller and a rechargeable capacitor. An example non-limiting embodiment also provides a cabin light system and an emergency lighting system, where each illumination unit (light source or illuminated sign) is as described above.

An elongated lighting track for attachment to a deck floor of an autorack. The lighting track has multiple track segments, each having a rigid elongated base track to receive and attach to an elongated lighting device and be attached to the deck floor. The lighting device has multiple lights and an integrated power bus. The light track also has a translucent cover configured to cover the elongated lighting device. The lighting device is attached to the base track, and the cover is positioned over the lighting device and attached to the base track. The track segments are attached to the deck floor to form the lighting track. The power busses of non-terminal track segments are electrically connected to the power busses of each of the two adjacent track segments, and terminal track segments are electrically connected to the adjacent track segment at the non-terminal end.
